After impressing crowds with the launch of a massive 115-inch Micro RGB TV last year, Samsung is adapting the tech for smaller sizes and making it more mainstream so that it can fit in common living rooms. In 2026, Samsung’s Micro RGB TVs will come in screen sizes starting from 55 inches going up to 65, 75, 85, and 100 inches, to finally top the line with their current flagship MR95F 115-inch model. As of now, there’s been no word on prices or specific launch timelines, but they will be showcased at CES 2026 in January.
What actually sets Micro RGB apart? Basically, it’s a different way a TV displays colours. While modern LED TVs use white or blue LEDs with colour filters, Micro RGB does it the other way. It makes use of ultra-fine red, green, and blue LEDs as actual light sources. As per Samsung, the LEDs are finer than a strand of human hair, giving the TV precise control over brightness and colour. The results are cleaner tones, better highlights, and lesser compromises in difficult lighting scenes.
Samsung is also using AI to integrate the whole experience. The new Micro RGB series will come equipped with a more advanced AI processor that enhances images, removes motion blur, and scales up content in real time. You also get access to Samsung’s latest Vision AI software, which includes features such as voice search through Bixby, recommendations, and additional functions like Live Translate , Generative Wallpaper and even the AI suite Perplexity.
Audio gets ample focus too. The TVs come with support for Dolby Atmos, Adaptive Sound Pro, Q-Symphony, and a new spatial sound system called Eclipsa Audio, which is expected to be introduced across the company’s line of TVs in 2026.
Until now, RGB-based backlighting has mostly been dealt with in extreme sizes. LG’s Micro RGB TVs, announced yesterday, start at 75 inches, Hisense’s RGB mini-LED model stretches to 116 inches, and TCL’s RGB offerings, currently limited to China, begin at 65 inches. By bringing Micro RGB down to 55 inches, Samsung is attempting to make the technology accessible and more mainstream than anything else announced so far.
The Micro RGB lineup seems to be Samsung’s way of adding a new tier above Neo QLED, sitting next to OLED. It isn’t meant to replace either, but to offer another option for people who want bright, accurate colours in rooms where OLED might struggle.
These TVs are likely going to be pricey. For most people, a high-end OLED or mini-LED will still be the better deal. But if you’re shopping at the top end and want the latest display tech without jumping to a huge screen, Samsung’s smaller Micro RGB models might make that next-gen experience feel within reach.
Samsung will showcase the full Micro RGB range at CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9 where we’ll find out more details.
